Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland received a contract extension in the offseason, a source has confirmed. Details of the contract were not available but Ireland is apparently guaranteed through at least the 2014 season. His contract was set to expire in the offseason.

The extension was first reported by the Miami Herald.

Ireland, who was brought to the team by former team VP Bill Parcells, has been considered an embattled GM for years. But considering that the extension was made in the offseason owner Stephen Ross apparently wanted to give Ireland at least a third year with Coach Joe Philbin regardless of how this year turns out.

Without details of the contract available it’s unclear if there are any buyout terms if the team decides to terminate Ireland’s contract early. But with a 3-0 start this year (75 percent of 3-0 teams make the playoffs), it would seem that Ross is happy with his decision.
